Volunteer Testimonials

“The volunteer pass is as good as the VIP package. The VIP tent was a great getaway with some really good food.” —Rebekah Murphy

“Last year I had a blast working at the Vail Film Festival! Everyone involved was so nice and made volunteering fun. Not only are you meeting new people from the Valley, but you get to see great films and meet artists from all over the country. Plus I got a volunteer t-shirt that I've been proudly wearing since then, with profits going to the Red campaign—how great is that?!” —Didi Doolittle

“Volunteering at the Film Festival each year is a truly special experience. Each year it grows, and it is amazing to be a part of this. If you have a passion for film like I do, it also feels special to learn so much and to be an integral part of the film festival!” —Sabrina Vierling
